SES financial statement looks like it was willed £2,486,900 in 2012. Does the SES still request 25% of members' wills? http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Accounts/Ends15%5C0000313115_AC_20120331_E_C.pdf Also, don't think this from the Jewish Chronicle has been posted before: http://www.thejc.com/c...

Thanks. I've had no luck with existing forums. If you could somehow provide access to files of both this site and the reference one, I'll attempt to have them uploaded at http://www.inform.ac/ or elsewhere.

Daffy, I've only just noticed what appears to be a sister site to this one, full of very important archive material: http://reference.ses-forums.org/ Could you tell me what will be happening to that site? If it is going to be continued, surely the file of content from here could be stored there for ...

Brilliant work Daffy, thanks. I'll find a way to handle 700 MB. I'd very much like us to proceed with getting hold of that file. Next week, I'll dedicate some time to finding out whether there is a way of setting up a forum that could be managed by an existing moderator somewhere, with an existing f...

Hello Daffy, Excellent news that exporting content might be possible. Obviously, a single file would be the handiest solution, if at all possible. Perhaps that's something that could be created after first exporting or downloading of all content in several files, and then one of us merging them some...

Leonie, Thanks for the message. I suggest we address one thing at a time. The first is the archiving of the content on this forum in a single file. The second is the possible but not certain establishment of a new forum by someone. The third would be the administration of that forum. To that end, I'...

Daffy, Thanks very much for the reply. In that case, perhaps there is another constructive solution: would you be able to put the 11140+ posts from this site, complete with discussion headings, times and usernames, into a downloadable file such as a PDF? Let's not underestimate it: this forum has ch...

Hello Daffy, Thanks very much indeed for responding. Let's be clear: I am corresponding with you precisely because I want to start to understand the way forward. Next question - if one of these Yahoo forums was started, would there be a way of you exporting all the content from this site to that one...

Two things. First is to say that being an unpaid administrator such as Daffy is a difficult, thankless job that requires a combination of leadership, discipline and patience. Anyone who does it deserves immense gratitude and praise. Second, the closure of this website and the deletion of its more th...

Daffy, I support your decision because posters should be responsible for their comments and if they edit later then the other side of the dialogue will become meaningless. However, speaking of general internet convention, I would prefer users to have the option of a redaction (cross-out) tool to cle...
